Magento Is Forever

The Legacy Of  Magento

Magento has become the best free eCommerce platform for business. Check the Gartner report with following link:

Gartner names Magento a “Leader” for Digital Commerce.

There are following solid reasons for that:

It is best open-source software eCommerce platform which can be truly scaled.

Open-source Magento Community Edition (CE) as well as Magento Enterprise Edition  (EE)
are available with differential pricing system.  Magento Community Edition (CE) has been designed as an eCommerce platform with zero cost of ownership for small businesses to begin with. There is virtually no capex needed to deploy it for small and medium enterprises.

If the business grows, the eCommerce portal can be migrated to Magento Enterprise Edition (EE) which comes at substantial amount of capex. Magento 2.0 Version also has been released which has been designed to compete with many other new entrants in the market e.g. Shopify,Woocommerce,etc.

The best answer to question “Is it necessary to move to Magento 2.0 ?” can be found here:

Why You Should Move to Magento 2.0?

Almost all modules are built-in for successfully running an eCommerce company.

Yes, you think of a feature and probably it is already integrated in the core version. Or It may be available as extension or Magento Module somewhere. It has strong ecosystem of Extensions or Magento Modules.
Magento Connect is the standard marketplace for Magento Extensions and Magento Modules.
So the all over the world companies are already working on new features/extensions and Magento Modules
in order to enhance the platform. Companies make healthy profit by developing extensions or modules.
It means platform is growing day by day to tackle new innovative requirements of eCommerce consumers. It creates a positive ecosystem for  developers, eCommerce vendors and eCommerce consumers.

Magento Architecture can be fully scaled technically along with connectivity to other systems.

It is based on MVC (Model-View-Controller) design pattern with strong layout and template engine.
It is very easy to create new Magento Modules or Extensions to enhance the features of the platform.
The Magento template engine provides rich set of features for configuring the layout and look and feel of the store as it is built into the core software platform. There are lot of customization features available and flexibility in doing it, if done properly. However, it requires good knowledge of software architecture.

It provides REST and SOAP APIs to interface with other systems which is specifically useful when the store needs to be integrated to merchants,vendors and various service providers like couriers,payments,banks,etc.

 

Magento Developers are the backbone of success of this platform.

A large number of developer workforce is available working on this platform right from the first version of the product release. Since this platform is available with PHP/MySQL, developers who start career with these skills can be easily migrated to Magento Development with small curve of technical learning. Magento Certification Examinations are available officially from the company in order to ensure quality manpower is available all the times.

Following Magento Certification Examinations are available:

SEO optimization features are built-in at product level.

By default, Magento Store is enabled and ready for Inbound Marketing. Each product definition in catalog gives facility to eCommerce Vendor  for definition of keywords for SEO. For this the URL rewriting feature should be enabled for the store. There are options to define HTML Head, Default Title, Default Description, Default Keywords and Default Robots in the administrative section (admin section) of Magento Store at website and store level. Also, there are options for defining Page Title, Meta Keywords and Meta Descriptions for each categories of the products. Similarly, for each product defined in the Magento store category can have Meta Title,Meta Keywords and Meta Description written and optimally defined from SEO point of view.

Magento “Search Terms” adds helping hand to SEO features of Magento Store

In catalog section , there are options to define synonym for commonly searched words and terms for a particular Magento Store. It also provides option to redirect to a product URL page based on “Search Terms” and it’s synonym words. A great help is provided in SEO because of this unique feature. Adding more synonyms helps users to find what they are searching for on the Magento Store without
SEO keywords being changed by eCommerce Vendors.

Magento Theme Development – You can create or source your own themes.

Theme changing and modification facility for look and feel of Magento Store has responsiveness and customization features built-in. So once developed for desktop, it can be deployed on all kinds of platforms like smart-phones, tabs,laptops,etc. Third party extensions and Magento Modules are available to create native apps for smart phones for the Magento Stores. There is a buzzing market of Magento Themes and many companies earn lucrative profit by developing Magento Themes.

Some of the websites from where free and paid Magento Themes can be procured:

It is a global platform and  has multi-lingual support built into the core software system. So there are no internationalization worries to be taken care of. The whole world is a marketplace for Magento Stores.

Summary

The most important thing is to work with a platform which is already matured and it is still growing. So it ensures that the platform will also grow in order to cater to new problems related to the business in future.
I strongly suggest to start-up companies and small and medium business enterprises to go for Magento for their eCommerce venture.
